No Hasselbeck for 49ers: Titans land veteran QB

Cross Matt Hasselbeck off the list. The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with the longtime Seahawks quarterback this morning, according to the Tennessean newspaper. Click here to see the story.

Steve Young said on ESPN on Monday night that he thought Hasselbeck would wind up in San Francisco. The 49ers did have interest, but an NFL source told the Mercury News on Tuesday that the team would not get into a bidding war for the services of the 35-year-old veteran.

Sources told the Tennessean this morning that Hasselbeck will get a three-year deal worth roughly $21 million. The Titans wanted an experienced hand to help groom first-round pick Jake Locker.

Im happy the Niners passed on Hasselbeck 3 years 21 mil is just way too much. They do need another option at QB though we went down this road last year with A. Smith. Harbaugh’s arrogance may end up biting him in the rear Smith has allready cost 2 coaches their jobs. The Niners need to bring in someone to challenge Smith for the starting spot. Why do they keep on going down the same path and expecting different results?

I fully expect Locker to be Starting by the 3rd or 4th game after Hasselback gets blown up and knocked out for the rest of the season. The guy is no longer durable enough to be a Starting QB.

So breathe a sigh of relief that we didn’t get him. 😀

Oh and also how is Harbaugh’s “arrogance” gonna hurt us? Hasselback could have come in and competed for the job but his durability is an issue. So Smith probably would have been Starting if we went with Hasselback.

Carr is being cut because he’s NOT a good Backup. His mindset is as a Starter not Backup. Anyone see the Carolina game? Dude wasn’t even prepared for playing against his old team even. Carr made himself expendable. He was on the last year of a 2 year deal and it made no sense for that guy to compete with Smith to be a Starter. Consider the Carolina game film a tryout of sorts. 😉
